National Day Guangxi trip

It took more than 5 hours of driving from Shenzhen to Wuzhou, and we arrived at about 8pm.

The first stop was my sister's best friend's territory. The free and easy-going Sister Meng has now become a mother who is worried about her baby. Sister Meng's military brother is also very friendly. The baby is very cute and the family of three is very loving.

Our main task at this stop is to eat. One of the reasons why Sister Meng and my sister played well in the first place was because of eating. They both have extraordinary persistence and enthusiasm for eating. Under the leadership of the number one foodie, even Sheen, the royal driver who never eats snail noodles, ate "smoothly".

On the way to eat snail chicken pot that night, I took some photos of the arcade and Rainbow Bridge. (Did you feel the psychedelic feeling of Rainbow Bridge?)

If the snail chicken is four stars, the bowl of fusilli noodles should be given five stars, haha.

The next day’s morning tea, jelly rice noodles expanded my knowledge about eating.

Wuzhou’s most distinctive Guiling paste

A remote wooden restaurant meal that only locals can eat

XX Pork Ribs: ★★★★★

I forgot what this pork rib is called, it tastes a bit like Northeastern cuisine sweet and sour pork. But it was really delicious. I also had the special lotus leaf chicken and fried cassava during this meal.

The reason why Danzifen only gave three stars is because it was really beaten by Luosifen.

Unlocked a lot of delicacies whose names I have never heard of, which is really super profitable.

Interspersed along the way are Sister Meng's complaints about her neighbors. Unexpectedly, independent women in the new era of Shenzhen can't escape this place. I have to say that Sister Meng’s narrative ability is much better than mine. If she writes a book and publishes it, I will buy one to savor all aspects of life.

On the morning of the 4th, the streets filled with particulate matter looked unusually peaceful in the sunshine shredded by the trees. We accompanied Sister Meng to push the stroller and moved slowly, without any deliberate effort. Even though we walked very slowly, we finally arrived. We said goodbye at the door of Sister Meng's house. The baby will probably be able to walk next time we meet.

There are very few young people on the streets of Wuzhou, and everyone walks very slowly. I heard that the summer lunch break is from 12 to 3 o'clock. It is really a leisurely city.

On the highway to Hezhou, I saw a mountain that looked like a cat. The mountainside was round and the two peaks stood like cat ears, as follows:

In Hezhou, the first place we went to was Huangyao Ancient Town.

We arrived in the ancient town around 12:30 and booked tickets at short notice. Later, we found that it would take 2 hours for the tickets to be issued online, so we ate at a nearby restaurant. The pork ribs with black bean sauce and glutinous rice cake really didn't taste anything special.

Tips: The original price of tickets to the ancient town is 100 yuan, and Meituan is 80 yuan. I heard from friends that you can buy it without the ticket window. You can buy special tickets for 50 yuan from ticket sellers on the roadside. Residents of Guangdong Province can buy special tickets for 50 yuan on Meituan, but they are not available during holidays.

We just took photos and complained in the ancient town. The appearance of the ancient towns is relatively similar, and the part with ethnic characteristics has been covered up by the commercial atmosphere. Traces of time can only be found in the corners or crevices.

Then, I found a drink shop called "Slow Down" in the ancient town. There was a lazy fat corgi lying next to the seat motionless. It was only when I gave him snacks that I realized he was lying there. is not a doll. The proprietress of the shop also kept a few cats, and a girl squatted aside and petted the cats with a smile.

Passing by Sima Di, there is an ancient banyan tree.

I wanted to stay until dark to watch the Lantern Festival, but by some strange combination of circumstances, I ended up in the ancient town, so I drove back to the city of Hezhou.

That night, under my sister's persistence, I found a secret Gui Ge Braised Pork Roll, and then bought Yifang and ate it in a snail noodle shop. Sheen was amazed by the braised pork rolls that we were accustomed to. The braised pork rolls and fusilli noodles made us sweat profusely. I was completely immersed in it. I didn't start talking until I finished the snail noodle soup.

After resting for one night, we went early the next day to another local 4A scenic spot - Gupo Mountain - the first peak in East Guidong (more than 1800 meters).

It is said that the negative oxygen ion content in this place is very high, up to 150,000/cubic centimeter.

According to Baidu Encyclopedia, negative oxygen ions are known as vitamins in the air and can degrade and neutralize harmful gases in the air. Regulate human physiological functions, eliminate fatigue, improve sleep, and prevent respiratory diseases.

Tickets are also 80 yuan per person (with an observation car). This observation car takes you to the top attraction first. There are about 6 attractions from top to bottom, and then you take the bus down to see each attraction.

At the top waterfall, because there are too many people, I feel that carbon dioxide there is more powerful than negative oxygen ions. There is also a waterfall at the bottom of Monkey Mountain, which is rarely visited by people. It feels really refreshing to take a big breath there. I saw an old couple sitting on a stone bench under the waterfall to have a meal, which looked like a fairy.

In addition, there is a scenic spot called Fangjia Tea Garden, which is the filming location of the TVB TV series "Tea Is Hometown". There are tea trees all over the mountains and fields. There are several cabins on the mountain, and some girls will soak in the tea grown on this mountain. You drink, the windows of the wooden house are open, the clear wind blows through, you take a few sips of tea, and you feel content.

Perhaps it is really under the influence of negative oxygen ions that the whole person feels rare calmness and tranquility, and the feeling of happiness overflows from the heart.

We did not climb to the highest peak, so we agreed to climb again next time when we were fully prepared.

Hezhou was rated by Sheen as the city with the worst traffic. Motorcycles dominate the roads and shuttle freely. Although the air conditions on the streets are average, it is called the hometown of longevity, which is quite interesting.

On the way back, in order to make the trip worthwhile, we specially chose another attraction - the Ancestral Temple (ticket is 20 yuan). Watch Huang Feihong's entire life trajectory, and also watch a lion dance among the crowds to feel the local characteristics.

What impressed me most about Foshan was that people in shopping malls queued up for meals as hard as Shenzhen.

Thank you very much Sheen for driving the whole journey alone. We who have never driven a car said that we should practice driving when we go back.

The discussions along the way were very broad. Even though we were squeezed by pressure from all sides in Shenzhen, we also talked about our ideals. I said that one day I would like to quit my job, whether it be to travel internationally or to open a half-hour inn, but I am restricted by rules and restrictions and cannot be so free, without considering various factors such as the cost of living.

Even if I sometimes work until I am out of breath and feel like I am about to die suddenly, I still joke to myself and say, everyone is enduring like this, so why can’t I endure it?

Maugham mentioned in "The Moon and Sixpence": "There were sixpences all over the ground, but he looked up and saw the moon." Sterry was not a genius, but he was free and brave.

I also want to bravely live for myself once and pursue the moon in my heart.

Maybe one day I'll have the courage to catch him.

On the highway, I also received the news that my high school best friend’s eight-year love affair has finally settled. Blessings! ! !

I am grateful to those who are traveling with me, and I am grateful to have a good sister!
